I Have A Decent Work Station That A Play Games And Render Animations.

On My Birthday I Got To Pick A Laptop Of My Choice With £300 (Thats $443.20). I Got A Compaq CQ58 With an intel I3 And 4GB DDR3 Ram.

Thats A Pretty Decent Laptop For £300. My Brothers Laptop Busted So I Took It And Stole 4GB Of Ram, Now I Have 8GB Of Ram In That Laptop (It Kinda Burns Now Because The Ram Is Directly On My Legs And Only Has Holes To Vent It.) (I GOT CHOCOLATE ON MY RAM DURING WRITING THIS, IDK HOW)

I Would Of Got An Intel I5 But I Dont Want My Laptop EXPLODING Or Pay Alot Of Money, It Gets LOTS More Performance.

I Got A HP Pavilion W-Something For Cheap On Facebook (£10-£20) Its A VERY Good Monitor.

I Got My Tv (I Dont Watch Tv, I Watch Youtube) And Put That Next To My Monitor And Connected Them Both To My Laptop.

This Is Where People Look At My And Go "Why". Imagen A Normal Computer Setup, But Replace The Computer With A Laptop. BOOM. Its Still A Setup And Lower Power Consumption! (You Could Get A Better Laptop Than Me And Make At AWESOME).

Because I Didn't Need A Second Monitor (Ill Add It Later) I Grabed My "Family" Xbox And Set It Up Around My Work Station, I Plugged It Into My Tv And Now I Have A Gaming And Computer/Laptop Workstation! (I Dont Like Consoles Very Much Anyways). I Didn't Have That Much Money Left So I Got A Cheap Webcam,Keyboard And Got My Wireless Mouse. THATS THAT DONE! (I Haven't Done That Much Writing Since My English Mock Exams)
